Exploring Rare Judaica at Johns Hopkins

Description

Johns Hopkins University has been home to extraordinary Judaica and Jewish Studies collections for over a century. How did these texts arrive at a secular institution and why do they still matter today?

Join the Sheridan Libraries for a special event featuring Assistant Professor Samuel Spinner, chair in Yiddish language, literature, and culture, and Mack Zalin, academic liaison librarian for Jewish studies, as they explore more than a dozen rare works on display and discover how these collections continue to inspire teaching, research, and cultural life at Hopkins, across Baltimore, and around the world.
